Volunteers of America Oregon’s Home Free acknowledges that the effects of racism and discrimination dramatically and negatively impact a survivor’s experience of domestic violence. We recognize and value survivors from Communities of Color, and we commit to providing services that honor each person’s unique experience. We actively seek to create an environment that is open, welcoming and respectful.
Our programs provide long-term, post-crisis support designed to prevent victims from having to return to an abusive home. Our commitment to reaching survivors means mobile, active advocacy that reduces the barriers to domestic violence support services. All of our services are free, flexible, and individualized, and driven by survivors’ needs and goals.
